PARTINGTON'S ARTICLE.

GENTLEMEN WANTED.

www.

In the coarse of an article in the Finance on Openings in China," Mr. Thomas Boten Partington says it is thing so he greatly regretted | that many of the Manchester and Bodland manefacters do not have They their own offices in China. could then freely deal in a first-hand manner with the Chinese, and the writer himself has been many times approached by inftential Chinese merchants to this end. One thing is certain, and this every manufacturer at home must keep before him: The requirements of the market must be carefully studied.

To this will come the reply that the requirements of the market are studied, in that Manchester and Bad- Ford send out many representatives to that part and that these men bave every opportunity of studying the markets and getting first-hand in formation. This is at once challeng- ed. The writer, since the armistice, has seen several representatives in Chim: they would have been better u at home. The first thing they did was to fall foul of the Chinese, and when this is done the result will Be-othing.

Above all, your Chinese merchants are gentlemen (not "chinks,“disgra- ting term), and. therefore, British merchants will do well to see to it that they in turn sead out gentlemen. Courtesy is cheap. The Americans i have a far better type of men on the China field at the present time than we have. The ideal is to have an office in China, and the results will! assuredly justify such a step, but, failing this, then the writer asks that the Lancasbre and York shire manufacturer will select his

·representatives with the greatest care. There are good men out there! as representatives, but they are all too few and not enough to cope with i the volume of business there is in that part.

There is another thing which may be mentioned in this article, and it is that it has never been clear why the Germans were given the agencies for andhandling of the whole of the British- made cotton thread business interests
